GARCIA CASTRO, Neftalí  and  VILLERIAS SALINAS, Salvador. Socioeconomic factors of vulnerability in the indigenous localities of the state of Guerrero, Mexico. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2018, vol.24. ISSN 1853-4392.

This research evaluates the main socioeconomic factors of vulnerability that exist in the indigenous localities of the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The conceptual contributions made in the specialized literature are reviewed, as well as the method of the average index value, as a methodological proposal to evaluate the differentiated access to material resources and structure of opportunities that affect the conditions of social vulnerability. This is the basis for constructing a typology that denotes the socioeconomic deficiencies suffered by the indigenous population and to identify the spatial distribution of the population considered most vulnerable (children, the elderly, households headed by women, people with different capacities). In this way, it was detected that the indigenous population of Guerrero has minimal socioeconomic conditions that make it easier for them to anticipate, cope, resist or recover from critical situations, since they have little economic capacity and minimal social development.

Keywords : Value; Social vulnerability; Average index value; Typology; Indigenous.
